Acerca de Annual General Meeting December 4 2024 @ 3pm Dear members, Harm Reduction Victoria would like to remind you of our 2023-2024 Annual General Meeting which will be happening on: Wednesday DECEMBER 4th 2024 at 3:00pm to 5:00pm. This year we are holding the meeting at Harm Reduction Victoria’s office at: 299-305 Victoria Street, Brunswick VIC 3056. We are also able to offer online access to the AGM via Teams. If a vote is needed for Board positions, we will arrange a process and let online attendees know on the day. We are a community, peer organisation and as such it is important that all members get a chance to be involved in our future, so please do join us if you can. Nominating for the Board of HRVic Have you ever thought of being on the Board of a not for profit organisation who advocates and works for something you are passionate about? Being on the Board of a peer-based, membership-based community organisation is a great way to contribute to your community and it can be rewarding and enjoyable. Being on the Board is also a responsibility and requires a level of commitment to attend regular meetings and do some reading and preparation for these meetings . Realistically, participating on the Board will take about 4-5 hours each month. HRVic seeks people who may currently use drugs or have used drugs in the past, and others who support HRVic’s mission and purposes, to join the Board. We want people who are passionate and willing to participate in governance or willing to learn. If you are thinking about nominating to join the Board, HRVic requires that you meet with the CEO and a member of the Board executive before submitting your nomination form. The Board nomination form needs to be received by HRVic no later than one week before the AGM. This year, forms have to be received at HRVic before midnight on the 27th of November 2024. Please organise to meet with the CEO and a member of the Board a few weeks before this date. The meeting is an opportunity for you to ask questions about HRVic, the Board and what’s involved in being a Board member. It’s also an opportunity for HRVic to find out more about you – your experiences, skills and reasons for wanting to join the Board of HRVic. Based on our legal obligations and organisational needs, HRVic reserves ththe right to not accept a Board nomination. What happens if my nomination is accepted? 1. You need to provide a short statement about who you are and why you want to join the Board. This will be sent out to the members so they can learn about the candidates. 2. You will have to complete the Board nomination form and you will have to have another member of HRVic formally second your nomination (this means having another member signing the form to say they support your nomination). 3. You then attend the AGM and speak to your nomination. Members attending the AGM vote to appoint the Board members, with a ballot if the number of nominees is greater than the number of vacant positions. Voting at the HRVic AGM HRVic members attending the AGM are asked to vote to accept the minutes of the previous AGM, vote to accept the Financial Report, vote to approve the appointment of Auditors for the forthcoming financial year and vote to appoint the nominees to the Board of HRVic. You will leave a voting expert if you came a voting virgin. Only members of HRVic are allowed to vote at the HRVic AGM. This year the HRVic AGM will be hybrid- meaning voting will be held both online and in person. If an election needs to be held to vote for members of the Board of HRVic (i.e. when the number of people nominating to the Board is higher than the number of vacant positions on the Board), we will run hybrid voting where HRVic members can vote for candidates during the meeting either online or in-person. VOTING BY PROXY If you are not able to attend the AGM, you can vote by proxy. This means you can appoint someone to vote on your behalf (using the Appointment of Proxy form). You can appoint as your proxy the Board Secretary or another HRVic member. Any HRVic member can only be a proxy for TWO other HRVic members. You can allow your appointed proxy to choose how to vote on your behalf or you can indicate your preferred candidates. The names of candidates who have nominated to the Board will be emailed to members on Thursday, 28th of November 2024 and also posted to the HRVic website. Please email admin@hrvic.org.au if you need a proxy form. PLEASE NOTE: If you are not on the list of members (including where we have your name as a nickname), you will not be able to vote. PLEASE ENSURE WE HAVE YOUR DETAILS CORRECT TO MAKE SURE YOU CAN VOTE. This is especially important for members voting online and will only be able to do this if the name they use when they join the online AGM is the same as the name we have on our list of members. If you are not sure if you are a member, it is important that you confirm your membership before the AGM. You can email us at admin@hrvic.org.au to confirm your membership. If you would like to become a vote at an AGM, HRVic must receive your membership application 30 days before the AGM.

Starting as a grassroots Victorian group known as RaveSafe, DanceWize has been a program of Harm Reduction Victoria (HRVic) since 1999 and is a Victorian Department of Health (DoH) funded health promotion charity. The DanceWize program model was adopted in NSW in 2017 and is administered there by NUAA. HRVic is part of a national network which is able to support the emergence of similar programs in other parts of the country too. This network promotes health rights, human rights and harm reduction. EXPERIENCE & EXPERTISE DanceWize is a peer support and event care service. For over 20+ years we have been providing peer education, safer substance use resources and referrals for related mental & physical health and wellbeing issues in an understanding, non-judgemental safe spaces at music events and festivals throughout Victoria and Australia. Our team members come with a range of their own work and lived/living experiences. We add the perfect mix of ongoing and up to date training to their skillset to equip them to care for intoxicated persons or people who need other support in party settings. AWARD WINNING CARE As DanceWize Team Leads and Key Peer Educators (KPEs), our volunteers undergo a range of training including First Aid (HLTFA003), Mental Health First Aid and but we do not operate as a First Aid provider, as this is not the program’s objective. We work as part of an event's Health Emergency Management Plan (HEMP) and alongside health providers and other on-site services. The efficacy of this peer-based program model is evidence-based and in 2016 HRVic’s DanceWize won the Minister of Health’s award for Outstanding Achievement by Volunteers Supporting Diversity. GENDER BASED VIOLENCE & MENTAL HEALTH SERVICE EQUIPPED DanceWize have the resources to deliver full-scale peer support services on-site at a limited number of events each year, but we are designed as a public-private partnership. For example, DoH covers our core operational costs, which allows us to offer subsidised services, and event organisers are expected to contribute toward our expenses on a cost-recovery basis. Dancewize also have resources to deliver comprehensive Gender Based Violence (GBV) and Mental Health services, including pre-event training and consultation and onsite service delivery that support festivals to prevent, recognise and respond to incidents of sexual and family violence onsite. If you’d like more information about our services, get in touch today. Get in Touch WHAT PEOPLE SAY “Dear DanceWize, Your care, wisdom & sincere love held me so close to this world as I was falling out of it. Thank you so much. I am filled with gratitude & respect for your work & guidance. Huge love to DW volunteer Andrew who helped me name my future llamas and filled my eyes with love.

NOW OPEN! The Victorian Pill Testing service at 95 Brunswick St, Fitzroy. - Opening hours, and all other features of the service, will be up for continuous review and improvement based on need and feedback (see below for ways to feed in). - You can come in and get any pills, powders, crystals, gels, or liquids tested on a range of fancy new technology (FTIR and GCMS instruments, as well as reagents and nitazine and fentanyl test strips). - In the coming weeks, our Paper-Spray Mass Spectrometer (PCMS) will be coming on line to assist further quantification and strength testing. This is the first of its kind in Australia! - You are covered from prosecution for possession of small amounts of drugs (personal use amounts) inside 95 Brunswick St, Fitzroy. This is the legislated "drug checking place". You aren't covered for trafficable quantities, and it's important to avoid bringing any large amount of drugs into the service. Please spread this important message far and wide throughout the community. We are still working on how best to give clear, simple key messages around this, without going into the weeds of grams and milligrams and different substances. Again, this is a key area for feedback and comms advice from our community! - Yarra Area Command of Victoria Police, have been instructed by the Chief Commissioner of Police to show "discretion in the vicinity" for possession of small amounts of illicit drugs for personal use, and not to discourage people accessing the drug checking place. Any issues with safely accessing the service should be communicated to service providers and to HRVic specifically. - Harm Reduction Victoria are employing harm reduction peer workers with living experience of drug use on every shift. 2 peer workers will be available each shift to provide you your drug checking results, who will be working alongside 2 Health and Harm reduction Workers with healthcare training, who are from our partners at The Loop Australia. We will also be employing an Operations Lead for the fixed-site, which is a designated peer leadership role within the service. - Harm Reduction Victoria will also be setting up a Service User Reference Group in September, to inform service improvement and service evaluation throughout the rest of the trial. Make sure you're signed up for updates at: www.hrvic.org.au/dcsignupdates - There are QR codes up at the service that link to an anonymous feedback and complaints form for all service users to access, as well. And we encourage any and all feedback, always! This is just the beginning of drug checking in Victoria, and we need your input. - We are also working on ways to further include more members of our community in the rest of the trial, and in Harm Reduction Victoria's work preparing for the end of the trial come August 2026. You can email: policy@hrvic.org.au to inquire further about this, ask questions, or share your feedback and ideas. And again, make sure you're signed up for updates at: hrvic.org.au/dcsignupdates Come and say hey any Thursday, Friday or Saturday arvo, and get your drugs checked Free, legal, and anonymous! And join in with this exciting new investment into harm reduction in Victoria 🙂

HRVic is an equal opportunity employer and service provider and is a proud supporter and ally of all communities- and recognise that people who use drugs come from all cultures, all ethnicities, all genders, all economic 'classes' and all mental and physical abilities. “Dance fused us, magical and cleansing. We were all in a swirl of color and light. It was like a rainbow,” said Baker. “A rainbow. That’s the moment when I knew exactly what kind of flag I would make.” Gilbert Baker worked tirelessly to ensure that the rainbow flag would become a universally recognised, global emblem of the LGBTQIA+ community and its proud legacy. The original 1978 flag initially had a total of eight stripes, each one symbolising an aspect of the LGBTQIA+ movement. The rainbow flag became synonymous with the diversity of the LGBTQIA+ community and our struggles. These included pink for sex, red for life, orange for healing, yellow for sunlight, green for nature, turquoise for magic and art, indigo for serenity, and violet for spirit. This iconic symbol and its evolution have become an intrinsic part of LGBTQIA+ identity, culture, politics and society.

HRVic's latest program brings people with lived experience and authentic, relevant, real-world, CURRENT experience with: substance use - various substances, injecting and otherwise experience with Hepatitis B - living with and treatment of experience with Hepatitis C- living with and treatment of experience with HIV - prevention and treatment experience with stigma & discrimination in healthcare settings, in the workplace etc. as a person who uses drugs in Victoria/Australia, and/ or as a person with a BBV HRVic's lived experience speakers are trained, remunerated and given ongoing support by HRVic and choose to speak candidly of our experiences publically at forums, conferences, panels and presentations.

HRVic's Mission Statement, Guiding Principles, Strategic Plan. Who is Harm Reduction Victoria? Who does it represent? What is Harm Reduction and WHY do we need WHO IS HARM REDUCTION VICTORIA? Harm Reduction Victoria (HRVic) is a not-for-profit, community organisation for people who use drugs. HRVic does not condemn nor condone the use of drugs. HRVic merely recognises that drug use happens and as such, aims to reduce any possible harms associated with that drug use. HRVic's health promotion focus is guided by the belief that any drug-related harm should be treated as a health issue and not a criminal issue. Our aim is to advance the health and well-being of people who use drugs by creating an environment in which individuals are empowered to realise their aspirations, meet their needs and participate fully in society. Our membership, staff and supporters include current and former people who use drugs, their allies and their support networks and people who support the values and objectives of Harm Reduction Victoria. We prioritise the issues and concerns of people who use drugs in all that we do within a community development framework. The philosophy of harm reduction and advancing the health and human rights of people who use drugs guides all of HRVic’s work. HRVic’s interventions are individually and collectively targeted, in order to promote a culture of safer drug use. OUR HISTORY In 1987, in the face of a growing HIV epidemic, a group of drug users, supported by their friends, families and allies established VIVAIDS- now called Harm Reduction Victoria- as an independent, living and lived experience-driven, community based organisation. Now funded primarily by the Victorian Department of Health and Human Services, HRVic provides peer driven and designed education and resources, practical support, information and advocacy to current and past users of illicit substances, their supporters and the services who work with them. HRVic has often led the way in developing innovative approaches to peer education and community development, and has contributed to Australia having one of the lowest HIV rates among injecting drug users in the world. OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES Community Ownership and Accountability: Harm Reduction Victoria is of and for our community. Through active engagement with our membership and constituent communities, Harm Reduction Victoria aims to identify and serve the needs of drug users in Victoria. We encourage a broad-based sense of ownership and involvement in all aspects of HRV’s operations. Inclusivity: Harm Reduction Victoria respects and represents all people who use drugs in Victoria, regardless of gender, sexuality, age, disability or ethnic group. We prioritise those at greatest risk of drug related harm and in particular people who inject drugs, due to the risk of blood borne virus transmission. “Nothing about us without us”: Harm Reduction Victoria asserts the right of people who use drugs to have a voice in decisions which directly affect our lives and to be involved in the response to drug use and associated harms in Victoria including drug related policies and programs. http://www.opensocietyfoundations.org/reports/nothing-about-us-without-us Human Rights: Harm Reduction Victoria rejects all forms of arbitrary discrimination against people who use drugs. We believe that the stigma associated with drug use undermines human dignity and self-efficacy, and creates barriers to participation in the social, cultural and economic life of the community. We work towards the elimination of these destructive attitudes. Health Promotion: Harm Reduction Victoria is a health promotion organisation. We are guided by a belief that drug related harm should be treated as a health issue and not a criminal issue. Our aim is to advance the health and wellbeing of people who use drugs by creating an environment in which individuals are empowered to realise their aspirations, meet their needs and participate fully in society. Partnerships and Collaboration: In order to respond more effectively to the needs of people who use drugs, Harm Reduction Victoria is committed to pursuing partnerships and strategic alliances with other community sector organisations built on shared goals and trust. Excellence: Harm Reduction Victoria strives to be a model employer, to be accountable to our members and constituent communities for all of our actions, and to achieve optimal outcomes at all times. For more comprehensive information, view the Harm Reduction Victoria Strategic Plan here.

Vaccine Locations With all of the Covid confusion, regardless of where it's come from, you'd be forgiven for not knowing how to go about getting the Covid vax if you choose to. We know that there are people in our community who do choose to be vaccinated and may be having trouble doing so- whether it's trouble with finding a clinic close to them or having trouble booking to get it done because of not having ID or a medicare card, or frustrating wait times etc, HRVic have decided to make sure that anyone in our community who chooses to partake- will not miss out. We absolutely respect our community's autonomy ( the right to self govern) around their health and respect your choice whatever it may be. We do however, want to ensure that this isn't another reason for society to leave us out in the cold. Already, the stigma and discrimination around someone who takes substances exists in spades and we don't need something else to move us to or keep us in 'the back of the line' in life. There are already many venues and businesses that have decided that people can not enter or partake without being vaccinated. The Basics: Everyone in Australia aged 12 and over can receive a COVID-19 vaccination If they choose. The Covid vaccines are FREE . You are allowed to travel more than 15km from home to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. View more information about current restrictions . There are a a few different types of vaccination clinics: Commonwealth Vaccination Clinics State (and Territory) Vaccination Centres General Practices (GPs) Aboriginal Controlled Community Health Services Community Pharmacies Hospital Immunisation Hubs Outreach Services and 'Pop Up' clinics Aged care in-reach Reserved appointments are available for people accessing alcohol and drug services to get vaccinated at state vaccination centres. Appointments for ALL areas are only available by calling (freecall) 1800 675 398. We have compiled a list of clinics and services who are offering the vaccines. Click on the area name that you want to find a clinic in to see locations in that area. NEW Pop Up and Walk In Vaccine Clinics List A 'Pop Up' vaccine clinic is a non permanent location where you can get your jab between certain dates. You may still need to book. Please check with individual locations to avoid disappointment. A 'Walk In' vaccination clinic is a clinic where you don't need to book.
